Well, dip me in axel grease and call me slick!
So I passed my driving test today. *she says, nonchalantly*
This is particularly impressive since at one point I was shaking, I was so nervous. And also, my driving instructor told me afterwards that his heart sank when he saw who the examiner was because he's so evil (in all the years my driving instructor has been a driving instructor, I'm only his fourth pupil to pass with this guy. All the instructors around this test centre HATE him). He was a bit arsey with me - AND made me sit for ages before he told me I'd passed - but I got my own back by pointing out that actually? I wasn't 'Miss' anything. I was 'Dr'. Heh.
So. Ten minors which I can totally live with although he gave me one for hesitation which if you'd SEEN the road you would totally have understood. On a hill. With a bus, parked cars on both sides of the road, a cyclist, pedestrians with small unruly children, a motorcycle, a very new learner slaloming around the parked cars and a BMW that took one look at the road ahead and decided that five miles an hour was pushing it. You might hesitate before turning right onto that road too!
Evil Instructor: Go when it's safe
Me (in my head): No, really? I was just going to pull out infront of the bus and the learner. Especially as I have no idea what either of them are going to do.
*hands*
Not a bad week, really.
Still. PASSED. Yay!
